The Pink Dink – 2mm silver bead, #18 – My top fly of 2022<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’m guessing you’ve had this before, deciding what to try next when the fish aren’t taking, you find amongst the various weird and wonderful flies that you have had collecting dust in your fly box one that just gives you a new confidence it might work. Usually first cast and it works, somehow you knew already it would and it’s usually the only one of it’s kind in your fly box. How many times have you got to the end of the day having caught a load of fish with it only to snag it in a tree before you had chance to take it home and copy it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The survivor ! a bit battered after a dozen or so fish and being rescued from a crack in the floor boards<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well for once, rescued from the tree, battered from having caught a dozen or so fish including a rather nice wild brown trout of around 2lb I managed to get the fly back home only to drop it down a crack in the floor boards in front of my tying bench! Thank goodness for super magnets, I couldn’t see the fly but a quick sweep plucked it from the crack and gave me chance to get a photo and work how to copy it. After comparing quite a few hooks I found the Hends 404 #18 to be a perfect match and 2mm silver slotted beads fit them very nicely. The rest of the materials:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
